I've the same problem running the query from phpmyadmin, and I assume that in this case the query is executed not involving php... Anyway I wil check this... thank you very much Giuseppe PS.

Is the Real Name field used anywhere?
by Eric Powell 10 Sep '07

10 Sep '07

Hello, I was under the impression that the Real Name field would be displayed instead of the Username. "* Real name (optional): if you choose to provide it this will be used for giving you attribution for your work." When I look at the Recent changes page, everything is attributed to Username, not Real Name. In fact, I have not been able to find any place where Real Name is used instead of Username. Any insight would be appreciated. Thank you, E -- Eric Powell WildPackets Illuminate Your Network OmniAnalysis 5 Now Available!

Changing User: URL link
by Paul Coghlan 10 Sep '07

10 Sep '07

Apologies for re-posting essentially the same post but this is just a final attempt to get some input on what seems to be a very specific issue. We have a custom skin that includes the personal URLs and a link to the User:¹ page in the format: www.domain.com/wiki/index.php?title=User:XXX with the hyperlink appearing as the username, XXX¹ in this example. We would like to retain the link but point it instead to: www.domain.com/user/YY Where YY is not the username but instead the uid. The hyperlink should remain as-is (i.e. XXX) but point to the new destination. I am not a PHP expert but have found this in our custom skin php file. I am thinking that the line marked with ** is the line to change but don¹t know what to insert in its place. Can anyone help out? Is this is something better posted in a PHP forum? Many thanks, Paul <?php foreach($this->data['personal_urls'] as $key => $item) { ?> <li id="pt-<?php echo Sanitizer::escapeId($key) ?>"<?php global $wgTitle, $wgUser; $item['active'] = $item['active'] || $item['href']==$wgTitle->getLocalURL() || ** $item['href']==$wgTitle->getLocalURL().'/'.$wgUser->getName(); if ($item['active']) { ?> class="active"<?php } ?>><a href="<?php echo htmlspecialchars($item['href']) ?>"<?php if(!empty($item['class'])) { ?> class="<?php echo htmlspecialchars($item['class']) ?>"<?php } ?>><?php echo htmlspecialchars($item['text']) ?></a></li>

Transclusion problem - solution
by Sowmya Dhanasekaran 10 Sep '07

10 Sep '07

Hello all, I found a solution for the transclusion problem that I had emailed about earlier. Adding $wgTranscludeCacheExpiry = 0 to LocalSettings.php in your target wikis does the trick. Thank you all for your help. Sowmya Dhanasekaran --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hello all, I am having some problem with transclusion. Edits to the source wiki aren't getting reflected in the target wikis. I searched the mediawiki archives and found that someone else also had this problem earlier. They had suggested that this: changing "?action=$action" to "&action=$action" in /includes/Parser.php. would work. Mine doesn't work even after applying this change. Please help !! Thank you, Sowmya Dhanasekaran

External Authorization
by Christopher.Reigrut＠Key.com 10 Sep '07

10 Sep '07

Hi, all! I'm working on integrating Mediawiki with our internal access controls (specifically, Tivoli Access Manager). I have authentication working via a custom AuthPlugin, and now I'm starting on external authorization. Our plan is to have two groups: Users and Administrators. These will be administered through Tivoli (and I'm already getting the groups during my auto-login process). IDs with neither group will have read-only access, IDs in the User group will be able to edit, move, etc, and Administrators will have the remaining access (basically, the same as Sysop). What's the best way to accomplish this? userCan hooks? Modify User.php? Something else? I'd really appreciate any insights you all might have! Christopher M.

Authenticating users by NT login?
by David Gerard 10 Sep '07

10 Sep '07

For an intranet MW installation, it may (or may not [*]) be a nice feature to authenticate by their NT login, which is how they're known to pretty much all other systems in this company and which would save them remembering another password. Is there anything for MediaWiki to either (a) pick up their NT logon automatically or (b) ask for it and then get it verified from whatever serves authentication? Has anyone gotten this working? I see various plans mentioned on mediawiki.org to use NTLM (which I'm not sure how to set up either). Though nothing about anyone getting NT logons for use as usernames. [*] "may not" in that tying our wiki infrastructure to our Windows desktops strikes me as not the best idea if the company ever gets the notion to free us from Windows; I'd rather not give anyone another reason not to. OTOH, using their existing NT username and password would save me quite some effort. - d.

wrong function use?
by Johannes Perl 10 Sep '07

10 Sep '07

I've some sort of problem with the glossary extension. The following lines should read the glossary page and they simply do in a normal case. $title = Title::makeTitle( null , 'Glossary' ); $emoticonListArticle = new Article( $title ); $content = $emoticonListArticle->getContent(); But if an oldid is set (permanent link on article), they aren't reading the glossary, but the text of the actual article. Is this a normal behaviour of mediawiki? Can anyone tell my why this happens?

Re: [Mediawiki-l] Character encoding problem (when moving to another mysql db)
by Kai Schlamp 10 Sep '07

10 Sep '07

> > Yes, your theory is correct. mysqldump will be too intelligent. > > See http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Backing_up_a_wiki Thanks for the help. I think you tend on the "Character set" Section (http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Backing_up_a_wiki#Character_set). My prolbem is that my old provider does not provide the console program "mysqldump". The only way for me is to export via phpmyadmin. And there I can't use the option "-default-character-set=latin1". Is there a way to convert the dump after export? (Forgive me, if I am double posting. Tried it two times with the Newsgroup Server, but the messages never showed up ... even after waiting some hours).

MySQL memory error deleting article (long)
by Giuseppe Briotti 10 Sep '07

10 Sep '07

Hi all... this is my first message on this list. The Problem: I created a wiki web site based on MediaWiki 1.10.1 and MySQL 4.1.22 (with phpMyAdmin 2.8.1 and MySQL client: 4.1.10). It works fine, until some days ago, when I encountered a memory error removing some page. I check for the query causing the error and tested it directly in phpMyAdmin: same result! "5: Out of memory (Needed 7938020 bytes)" The SELECT works fine (it returns 3 records), but it result in error with INSERT INTO. Any hints? What can I ask to ISP that host my web site?
